Hi
I am trying to debug a jsp using tomcat 5.0.28, I ran tomcat using JPDA and was able to attach to tomcat from eclipse,
My problem is i am not able to see any variable values inside jsp. For example suppose i have following code in the jsp
try {
String name = “abc”;
String abc = “xyz”;
}
catch(Exception exc) {

exc.printStackTrace();
}
If i take my mouse over name, or select variable name in debug mode, i dont see the value in name, nor can i change it?
So is this how debug works for jsp? Because when i debug a java class i can see the value as well as change the value data.

Ahish,

Rather than using the JPDA directly, please have a look at our Working with Web Projects quickstart here: http://www.myeclipseide.com/images/tutorials/quickstarts/webprojects/

It goes over in detail how to set up debugging on Tomcat and will likely answer your questions.
